Joshua 4:1-9 "Remember"

Message: Joshua 4:1-9 “Remember”

Summary:  In this Memorial Day message we turn to the book of Joshua and look back at a significant event. God had stopped up the waters of the Jordan river to allow Israel to pass into the Promised Land. It had been a long, difficult journey, but the time had come for Israel to enter the New Land. After crossing God told Joshua to have twelve men take twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan and set them up as an altar of remembrance. In the days ahead they were to look back, remember, and teach their children the story of what God had brought them through. In the same way, we can look back at our lives and see God’s faithfulness, deepening our love and trust of His plan for our lives.
